The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[magus]

i love WSR resort swordfight but archery has always been horrible

[TakingBackSunday]

Himuro, are you crazy?  When they first unveiled Twilight Princess, it was supossed to come out THAT YEAR (2004).  It didn't come out until late late 2006.

This game is going to be fucking fine.

[Himu]

TP was supposed to come out THAT year? No way, really?

And sure, it'll be fine, if you like motion controls.

I wonder how they compare to TP wii. I only like motion controls when they compliment traditional controls, not BECOME the controls as seen in the new Zelda. Chances are, I'll hate it. But oh well, I'll just replay Majora's Mask.

No way TP was supposed to come out in 2004. I think it was originally for 2005, then delayed to 2006.

Going by the video linked above, looks like the controls are just an enhanced version of TP. It just gives you the ability to also control the direction of your slices.

[TakingBackSunday]

all I hear is wah wah

[Himu]

I haven't played TP wii since 2006.

[TakingBackSunday]

Wii Bow controls > GC bow controls

Wii SS sword > Wii TP sword

[Himu]

Are they going to show the press playing Zelda via videos?

Because Miyamoto made it look awful

[TakingBackSunday]

He was also playing in front of hundreds of people with wireless devices on.  Not to mention the pressure of playing in front of people.

It's going to control just fine.

Sounds like FUD to me, Mr. DeathbyVolcano. Sorcery controlled better

[TakingBackSunday]

Maybe!  But it's a Zelda game and I'm going to fucking love it.

[cool breeze]

again, the mechanic is the same as WSR.

I hope that they still let you use pointer controls for the bow

[Himu]

Dude, I've been burned by more or less every single franchise I like this gen, hence me being so apprehensive.

[Himu]

Although I have WSR, it's not like I've played it.

[magus]

why you have a game you haven't played

[cool breeze]

try it out

sword fighting is literally what they showed of zelda, as are many of the other mechanics.

TP release was only delayed to match Wii's launch. The Cube version was probably finished months before the Wii launched with the ported Wii version.

[cool breeze]

and ignoring my distinguished mentally-challenged fellow Zelda defense, the only complaint I have is the colors look a bit off.  I like that it's colorful, but it doesn't look that balanced.  The worst analogy I could think of is that it looks too poison mushroom.  I don't even know what that means.  Purple hue? I don't know

[Himu]

why you have a game you haven't played

it came with the wii, I didn't buy it

[Robo]

There's zero reason to think this will play as janky as it was presented.  The tech works.  The concern lies with whether or not is this gonna be fucking boring like TP.

[TakingBackSunday]

I love the art style.  It's exactly what I've been wanting.  Can't wait for them to touch it up for next year.

[Barry Egan]

exactly this.

[MCD]

rebuying a wii asap

[Barry Egan]

The color palette consists of colors you would only find on a poisonous tree frog. 

[EmCeeGrammar]

So how does this game calibrate the sword exactly?  I was thinking they could get away with it if you controlled the camera with the pointer, but thats not the case. WSR was a big game for them and the sword fighting there required calibration.

[MCD]

this looks ten times better than TP.

take it from someone who beat TP*.

*Wii version.

[cool breeze]

Remember how WSR recalibrated instantly when you hit down on the d-pad? they can just do that every time you press Z to lock-on

[The Sceneman]

bwahahahahaha what a piece of shit

You morons waited 4 years for this crap. Zelda fans are worse than Sony fans

[TakingBackSunday]

 

[The Sceneman]

enjoy your little Fisher Price waggle adventure :himu

Day 1, going on a media blackout for this 

[MCD]

i just want to see the lively villages and towns.

[magus]

is it bad if i want another sidequest where i have to take a photo of every NPC and enemy?

[SantaC]

looks like tp

nintendo said that they would try something new...

[TakingBackSunday]

You know nothing about the game except how it looks what the controls are.  Way to be stupid yet again, Santa.

[Don Flamenco]

I hear there's a boomerang in this.  also, a princess named Zelda.

[SantaC]

fine, but I doubt we see something unique since theyre pimping the controls this time

actually i don't think i saw a boomerang, that new beetle and the whip seem to replace those

Of course they're going to pimping the controls, it's the big new feature.  It's not coming out this year, and there are plenty of other opportunities to show it off until it does release.

I'm sorry dude, but this is the same shit that Nintendo fans were saying when TP came out and people were suspecting the same old shit. It's the same old shit. The Zelda formula is never changing. Some people might find that a good thing. I, however, find it the end of my interest in the series.

The most interesting part of Zelda games are their level/world design.  The only time I ever care about the trailer for a zelda game is if it's in some radically new graphical style.

All this trailer confirmed for me is that it's going to be a full-fledged game and not some port-up so I'm happy.

[MCD]

FLYING TOWNS OMG

[Third]

Well, I stopped playing Zelda TP when I arrived at the Sky Temple.

[chronovore]

It looks like Zelda. God, I hope I'm not forced to use motion controls, otherwise no download.

You really know how to apply pressure!

[TakingBackSunday]

Good christ you people are pathetic.

[brawndolicious]

Obviously there's still going to be land and water.  Probably, you'll have multiple modes of transportation with flying being the most convenient but restricted in some areas.

They already said that they're trying to lower the amount of overworld traveling between dungeons so most probably, you can just fly between temples and cities.  It might just be the same thing as playing a certain tune to teleport around in OoT.

[Crushed]

apparently the "interference" wasn't just wireless devices, it was also that nintendo forgot that putting huge ass halogen lights in front of the stage messed up the wii pointer when it faced them

Spoiler tag this!


I wonder if Gannon will be in this one......

[Himu]

I really hope it's not a Zelda/Ganon game.

Meh, I just feel compelled to point out that there are actually more Zeldas that DON'T contain Ganon/Zelda than Zeldas that do.

[SantaC]

after all these years people still spell it Gannon
